For the second game in a row, the men’s Oklahoma basketball team led wire-to-wire in a 79-65 win over in-state Oral Roberts.

The Sooners improved their season record to 4-1 and won for the 16th consecutive time over the Golden Eagles, who haven’t beaten Oklahoma since 1976 and are just 2-16 all-time against the Sooners.

Oklahoma blew the game open with a 17-4 first-half run that propelled the Sooners to a 40-22 halftime margin.
